Although Orkestrada was formally established in 2010, it has actually been growing for some time before with Rada Kikelj Drašler writing poems that became the bands lyric material. For the past decade she was simultaneously thinking about the melodic form of her poetry, and when reciting them at literary events, she sometimes sung her poems and was occasionally even accompanies by a guitar player. Out of this grew Orkestrada, and besides Rada as the leader, lyricist, singer and trumpet player, the band consists of Thierno Diallo (contrabass), Boštjan Franetič (electric guitar), Vid Drašler (drums), Boris Magdalenc (hang), Matija Krečič (violin), Asja Grauf (flute) and Nina Kodrič (alt flute). Being a relatively big ensemble, they are not burdened by its numbers and can also perform in smaller formations, even as a trio or a duet.

Their first album was released on a Radio Študent (RŠ) label in 2011 and is called Spusti [Release]. Although the band is young yet, their debut is a quite mature work, in which jazz, chanson, blues, ethno, cabaret, funk and other genres intervene in a surprisingly consistent ways.

The song Spusti ptico [Release the bird] by Orkestrada.
